The two gentlemen were so professional and worked well together. They were incredibly polite and efficient. They arrived a little later than I thought they would but maybe I wrote the time down as a firm time versus a "window." They did provide me with an estimate up front. It seemed high to me but it did include an expensive part. I highly recommend this company and will use them again!
Description of Work: Installed three light fixtures; fixed outdoor light; fixed two outdoor electrical connections; and installed new outside light motion sensor.

We called Tingley with a last-minute request (needed them the next day) to come to our house to advise on the location of a conduit for outdoor lighting. The phone was answered by Ryan who was very professional and helpful. Ryan come to the house the next and gave us the info we needed. Tingley made this so easy and they were so professional and helpful that we'll definitely be using them as our go-to electrician from now on!

After being told they would arrive between 10-12, the truck didn't show up until 12:02. The electrician, Don, then looked at where he could install the detector, quoted me a price of $130/hr + materials, He then went right to work, finding a good place for it, cutting the panelling, and installed the wiring and a box. He them installed the CO detector I had already purchased. Total time was about 1/2 hr. He then offered to look at my broken circuit, and I showed it to him. With power at the GFI breaker, but not at the first light switch, he then went searching for the break. He found it in a box in the attic (a "bad splice" he called it). He tightened the splice and fixed the circuit. Total time spent in my home was 1 hr. Total cost was $150. I am very happy.

Tingley Electrical has been great. I originally contacted them in January via their website to address a number of electric projects I had been putting off. Someone from their office called me quite quickly to discuss the various items I wanted done, explain their pricing and schedule a time for them to perform the work. They were able to provide me an appointment very quickly and accommodate my schedule. Mike showed up a few minutes early for the appointment, was professional and courteous, and he walked through each of the items on the list. He explained the options he had for timers, dimmers, etc and then went to work. He performed each of the items on my list quickly and efficiently. For the items I had requested an estimate for (installing ceiling lights in a few rooms), he said someone from the office would follow-up with an estimate by e-mail. After I followed up a few days later, Vincent sent the estimate quite quickly and the estimate was quite reasonable. I decided to hold off on having the ceiling lights installed, but I had a few more electrical items (replacing a motion sensor and installing a few additional LED dimmers) so contacted Tingley to perform these additional tasks. They again responded quickly by phone and set up an appointment for only a couple days later that worked for my schedule. Mike again showed up promptly, walked through the items with me and worked quickly on each item. I have used Tingley twice now (1/16/14 and 2/10/14), and I have been please with their prices, quality, responsiveness and professionalism. They are definitely my go-to electrician going forward.
Description of Work: Tingley performed numerous electrical items for me: installed timers for two outside lights, replaced an electrical outlet, replaced three or four dimmers with LED compatible dimmers, installed a fluorescent light in basement, replaced an outdoor motion sensor, conducted troubleshooting for a non-working outlet, and provided free estimates for installation of ceiling lights in two rooms.

The electricity in part of my house went off during a wind storm. Because it was only part of my house, I assumed that the problem was in the house rather than with the electricity supplier. I called Mr. Tingley to ask that he come take a look. He explained that the problem was almost certainly with the utility supplier and not my house thus saving me the cost of a visit. Then he called me back the following week to make sure that everything had turned out OK, which it had. He was extremely courteous and helpful. I will absolutely call him next time I need an electrician.
Description of Work: Provided advice free of charge!

I hired Tingley Electric on two occasions. On the first, Vinny visited my house and later sent me an estimate. The actual work was conducted by a separate team of two guys. On the first job, they --installed an Ecobee thermostat (sort of a nerdier competitor to the Nest thermostat). It is actually a pain to install, since there is a separate control box by the furnace. The installation went smoothly. --installed coaxial cable plugs in several rooms. This went very well, so I hired them shortly after to: --install a second Ecobee in the basement --remove a some nasty light fixtures in a drop ceiling, install a few can lights, install a closet light, move a few wall outlets to a particular switch. --update a lot of old outlets and switches --replace a bathroom exhaust fan. I was actually traveling just before the job, so Vinny allowed me to ship the fan and thermostat directly to his shop. It was quite helpful. The same team worked both times. They were prompt and clean (especially in carefully cutting drywall for coaxial). The price is very approximate, since this was about a year ago, but it was fair given the work quality.
Description of Work: Mutliple tasks, including wireless thermostat installation, installation of fixtures and fan, etc.

Hi [member name removed], I am sorry that I let you down. We went over a lot of materials and tasks that day to be completed. I must admit that it was a bit confusing with things being added then deleted on the to do list so I must of gotten confused as to whether things were or were not included. This has been a very busy summer and managing our additional work along with estimates and employee vacations proved to be a bit overwhelming for me. I have put into practice things like, taking better notes, allowing certain dedicated times to work on estimates and doing them as soon as possible to ensure accuracy.

Vinny was great. I tried to swap out a switch in our 50 year old house after watching HGTV and a few YouTube do it yourself videos and failed miserably. We were nervous that the switch was producing sparks and called a few different electricians, plus two from Angie's List, afraid that my DIY project was going to burn the house down. Vinny called us back within a half hour and was here soon afterward. He replaced and upgraded the switch, and swapped out an old ivory colored one in the room to match the new switch. I was impressed that he was so prompt, professional, had a variety of parts and plugs with him (unlike other electricians we've encountered who always seem to build 90 minutes at Home Depot into their charge for materials they should have with them) and worked efficiently. The new switches look great and much cleaner than what we had before. We have major renovations ahead of us and will call Vinny first on projects going forward.

Watching these two guys work was like watching and listening to a symphony. No matter what obstacle my old house threw at them they didn't miss a beat. I didn't realize that most of my old lights didnt even have junction boxes or that the timer switch I had wasn't working. No problem these guys had everything they needed right in the truck. They completed everything in less than an hour and a half. Amazing! I have to say that Vinny and his guys restore my faith in my fellow man, because of their honesty and hard work, kudos to them. Any success they have they clearly deserve it.
Description of Work: Installed five light fixtures; flood light, two motion detectors, and two lights on my deck. They also diagnosed an electrical problem that fixed another light out by the street in front of my house.

. Vinny was great - came out on a Saturday and was done within an hour. Prior electrician told us that we would need to rip out our wall to diagnose a wiring issue we had or completely rewire our exterior lighting. The estimate was $500 or more. We called tingley to get a second opinion.... He answered phone, and came right out... And after a quick diagnosis, vinny was able to solve the problem within one hour without ripping out our wall or rewiring. He honored the coupon from AL and didn't charge extra for a Saturday visit. Very nice, very professional and job done right. Will use again without hesitation
